"There is no place for selfishness and no place for fear! Do not be afraid, then, when love makes demands. Do not be afraid when love requires sacrifice."
Simplified meaning
Love is about caring for others and sometimes putting them before yourself. Imagine you have a close friend who needs help moving to a new house. You might feel tired or have other plans, but real love means you're willing to cancel your plans and help them out, even if it's inconvenient for you. It's normal to feel a bit scared when you have to make big sacrifices, like staying up all night to support a loved one in trouble. But true love isn't about being selfish or scared; it's about facing these challenges without hesitation. When you care deeply for someone, you're ready to do things for them that might be hard or require giving up something important to you. In relationships, this kind of selfless love makes the bond stronger and more meaningful.
